Quality and Value - The Matrix Genomics Advantage
'The Matrix Genomics research team has identified gene combinations that determine the level of inherited risk for common age-related disorders.'

Why choose us?
- Sound Science We assess inherited predisposition to common health conditions that are frequent causes of death and disability. We have published these studies in the medical literature.
- Number of Genes Tested These conditions have multiple genetic inputs. We test for more genes than our competitors. Since this is the right approach, we wonder why they don't do it too.
- Innovative Analysis Unlike other companies, we use advanced statistical tools to capture complete information on gene-gene interaction in order to identify high and low risk genetic profiles. Your DNA results are compared to the high risk combination in order to assign you a level of risk, either very low, low, moderate or high. Your results are displayed relative to the level of risk in the population.
- Range of Risk We know that you want to purchase the most accurate test available based on value for money. That is what we deliver. A wide range of risk based on gene-gene interactions -- at least 25-fold. We do not multiply odds ratios published from diverse studies together or use statistical methods that are biased and almost unable to identify gene-gene interactions. Some of our competitors do both. I guess that is what is meant by the phrase 'Let the Buyer Beware'.
- We Sell You Only What You Want We sell information on your level of inherited risk for common fatal health conditions, and information on how you are likely to respond to medications. Each focused assessment can be purchased separately or in a bundle at a discount. So, if you only want to know about your genetic risk for Alzheimer's disease, you don't have to pay for other tests or services. We don't do nutrition assessments, geneology, or anything else that is not clearly related to common fatal disorders, or the appropriate use of medications.
- Price We use the most advanced and effective genetic techniques available for the products that we sell. This approach dramatically lowers lab costs, which we pass on to our customers. Make no mistake, lower lab costs make it possible to offer more complete and useful genetic assessments for substantially lower prices than in the very recent past. We wonder why our competitors don't recognize this simple fact while selling what we view as incomplete tests at higher prices.
- Easy DNA collection No blood is needed. A swab is used to collect DNA from the inside of the cheek.
- Timely Reporting Matrix Genomics provides you with results within 10 days. Certain tests, such as warfarin initial dosage have a 5-day standard reporting time. We can't understand why our competitors take so long.
